What these numbers say together
Twisp, WA (ZIP 98856) sits in Okanogan County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 7.1%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,163. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $74,631, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $48,554 per worker, roughly 26% below the US average. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. FEMA has issued 39 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile. 22% of adults self-report fair or poor health (County Health Rankings, 2025) — above the national county median. Washington has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $74,631) approximately $3,433/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. New residents arriving here predominantly come from King County, WA (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $69,896, fair market rent of $1,060 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $458,123, down 2.2% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 24.7%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
